Good morning on this sunny Saturday!  Well, okay, the sun isn’t exactly shining yet, but it’s supposed to be shining again today.  It was just fantastic yesterday with sunny skies and the temp warming up and the snow was turning to water so fast!  That’s what I like to see this time of year, all that water flowing steadily everywhere.  Our dam must have been opened more fully once again, I can hear the roar of water as it rushes through the spillways right from home.  And considering how fast the snow is melting it won’t be long and I will be walking down to the river once again too.  Time to view the spring beauty of the forest and river.  Time to watch the spring mushrooms begin to grow.  Well, it might be a while before that happens, but it’s getting closer all the time.  I just wonder what mushrooms might show up in the spring along that path?

But for now, we will continue with our look at bright and beautiful wildflowers…

And one of the first of our spring wildflowers will be this beautiful “viola” that pops up just about everywhere.

And of course the very bright and beautiful “yellow avens” won’t be too far behind.

There it is everyone, I certainly hope you like today’s picks of pics.  And I really hope you can manage to enjoy your weekend even in the midst of this corona virus outbreak and stay at home orders that seem to be in place most everywhere.  Have a wonderful day and God bless!

Hello everyone and welcome to another award, the Real Neat Blog Award!  This is only #3 for me on this award and that in itself is exciting, though I enjoy all the awards no matter what number it happens to be.  This award was given to me by Lydia, and a great big THANK YOU for that!!  Lydia writes a great blog on many subjects so go on over, say “HI” and give her a follow!

THE RULES:
Display the blog award logo in your blog.
Thank the blogger who nominated you. Do not forget to link to their blogging website.
Answer all the questions they have given you.
Nominate 7 to 10 bloggers of your choice.
Ask them 7 questions.

Lydia’s questions for me:

1. Would you rather be half your height or double your weight?  Hmm, if I was half my height, wouldn’t that make me double my weight? Or at least it would look like it.  And if I was double my weight then I would be half my height, and I’m not joking about that.  Therefore if I take one and minus the other and add it to the other two and divide by 2 that would make me the same that I am now.  Therefore, I choose to stay the way I am, it’s far more simple for this country boy.  Interesting question and lots of fun!😂😹😜🤪
   
2. Celery in ice cream or pickle juice in place of milk in your cereal?  Well, another one of those interesting questions, but this one is, um, well, rather different.🤔  I can’t eat ice cream or drink milk therefore I can’t answer the question.  Sigh.😳😄😸
3. What’s a topic that you talk about most?  Well, I don’t talk much at all, however, if we include writing as part of talking then it would be…nature.🙂🌳🌲🍄😽🐿🐉✈🐻🦝🐺🦌🦆🦅🐦🦉🦋🕷🐞🐝
4. What time do you go to bed and wake up?  Hmm, generally speaking, I go to bed to sleep.😴😴🛏  I’m a strange person with no specific time schedule for going to bed, it can be anywhere from 9 to 10:30pm.🌙  Getting up in the morning varies as well, in winter, usually around 5:30 to 6 am, and in summer normally 4 to 4:30 am.🌞🙄
5. What’s your favorite way of exercise?  Finally an easy question…WALKING!🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️🚶‍♂️
6. How much time do you spend on your blog each day?  I really have no idea,🤔 I never time myself.😁🙄😺😸
7. Broccoli cooked or raw?  Cooked, but not over cooked.😀🥦
